Sad but not surprised by the move. Good luck to the staff.

Guy was terrible and set program back years. Good riddance. He’s coached his last d1 game. Get that clown off the campus.

Really good guy who did a lot for the university, but wasn’t getting it done on the court

This was the right move. I don't expect a splashy hire, but hopefully we open the pocketbook just a little wider and bring in someone who can make a little noise in the CAA. Best of luck to Matt.

Hope he enjoys playing teams like Randolph cause that man is done coaching at the d1 level. Worst recruiting in the country. Glad blank had his hand forced in this.

Really good guy who did a lot for the university, but wasn’t getting it done on the court What did he actually accomplish for the school that anyone half competent couldn’t have?

A step forward for the basketball program. No doubt that Matheny was a great guy, but we just couldn't coach at this level. Wish him the best of luck for his future. Can't help but be feel excited for our future.

Also, mentioned this awhile back, but I'd like us to look at Patrick Beilein. Good bloodline, young, success at lower level (Le Moyne). Not saying he is the one, but think it would be worthwhile to check out.

As someone who has been very vocal over the past two years about MM, I’m glad the move was made. Matt is a great guy and represented Elon well. However, his job was to win games and move out program forward. Something, that did not happen. It was time.
Now comes the hard part. Finding the right person to coach and to lead us where we need to go.

Let’s not treat being a good representative of the school is some major accomplishment. Terrible coach that was given several hundred thousand a year salary to accomplish nothing. He made more than a great living in his 10 years. Time to go. Don’t feel bad, wish him the best but this team was painful to watch, and regardless of who we hire, next year is going to be worse.

I was pretty cynical, and figured they would let the contract ride out. Quite happy they did make the move. I'm looking forward to a new era.

Look forward to seeing who is put in place of Matheny. I would expect a coach with no head coaching experience. Any coach that understands the value of recruiting budget, admission requirements, will realize this is a dead end job.
The only coach that would take this job that has been a head coach before is one at this end of his career who is just looking to cash some checks before retirement.
Elon was a good SoCon job, but terrible in the CAA.

Finally! Will likely be a rough year next year, but it should be more exciting to see where this goes long term. Need a good hire and a good first recruiting class.
Go Phoenix!
